Rebirth of the Faint Lord

Lin Xiao naturally disagreed with King Ying's point of view, he firmly believed that Qi Junzhuo was innocent.

King Ying felt that it was Qi Junzhuo who sent this female assassin to assassinate Qi Fan and Wen Yao. When Qi Junzhuo let the female assassin go, he was definitely suspected of harboring evil intentions, and it could even be said that he was pointing his sword at the emperor.

In short, in King Ying's view, Qi Junzhuo is fully responsible for the injuries of Qi Fan and Wen Yao.The two came and went like this, and everyone felt that both sides were very reasonable, and they didn't know which side to stand for.

Arlie waited for Sidi's envoys to sit aside and watch the play. Occasionally they glanced at each other, and they felt that the Daqi Palace was very lively. When they returned to Sidi, they could tell their king a joke.

Qi Junmu sat in the upper seat and watched them quarreling coldly, Shen Nian could tell from his expression that he was in a bad mood.

It's just that due to the occasion, he has no way to comfort the emperor, so he can only persuade Qi Junmu in private afterwards.

After the quarrel, Wen Zhuo also stood up, letting the emperor decide for Wen Yao.When Wen Zhuo mentioned Wen Yao, his eyes were red. No matter what the relationship between the female assassin in front of him and Qi Junzhuo was, he hated this female assassin to death, wishing to smash her into ashes.

Wen Yao was stabbed with a sword in the chest by this woman, and he almost died. After so many days of recuperation, he is still lying on the bed half dead.

Now no matter who provoked the female assassin, Wen Zhuo felt that she deserved to die.

When Wen Zhuo mentioned Wen Yao, the expression on his face was naturally true.Seeing this situation, Wen Wan, who was sitting at the top, also had slightly red eyes.

Things have come to this point, and the situation is completely unfavorable to Qi Junzhuo.

In the end, Lin Xiao looked at Qi Junzhuo and said sincerely: "Prince Jin, you know the truth of the matter best, and you should confess to the emperor."

After Qi Junzhuo heard this, he looked up at Qi Junmu, his expression moved slightly, as if he had a thousand words to say, and he didn't seem to know where to start.

Qi Junmu raised his hand, and he said: "Sit down, Prime Minister Zuo and Uncle Ying Wang, I will find out the truth of the matter. But before that, I always have a question in my heart that I want Arlie to help answer."

Arlie, who was watching the play, did not expect that he would become a character in the play, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Please tell me, Your Majesty."

Qi Junmu said: "I have always had a doubt in my heart, what kind of benefits did you Xidi give Chang Sheng, so that he could betray Da Qi and cooperate with you."

Arlie was slightly taken aback, and was about to say something, when Qi Junmu interrupted him and said coldly: "Don't tell me that Xi Di did not collude with Chang Sheng, I am neither blind nor deaf, Chang Sheng Collusion with Sidi is a matter of conclusive evidence, I was happy to hear your nonsense just now, but now I am not happy, Arlie, you must think carefully when you speak."

"Chang Sheng is a general. He colluded with Xi Di, even if it was for the sake of money, he would eventually bear the crime of treason. But as far as I know, Chang Sheng is a person who cherishes his reputation, and he will never do it for no reason. So I have been thinking about why he would do this. After thinking about it, there is only one thing, there is someone behind him, and he is a member of the royal family."

"Allie, is my guess reasonable?" Finally, Qi Junmu asked with a smile.

Arlie didn't speak, but his eyes were vaguely on the other princes of Daqi.As soon as this gaze was released, even Qi Junyou, who was originally indifferent, sat up straight.

Qi Junyan curled his lips, with a look on his face that this matter has nothing to do with Lao Tzu.

Qi Junmu continued to say gently: "It doesn't matter if you don't answer, Arlie, I still have some guesses in my heart. King Ping is my second brother, loved by the world, and his mother's family has some influence. Since I became the throne, Zhou The family has caused trouble for me a lot. He is unbalanced, and it is not impossible to do something."

"Prince Rui has the status of the eldest son, even if his mother made a mistake, there are always people who think that his son should not be affected by it. There are people in the court who support Prince Rui, who think that he is the orthodox, and I am just picking up the loopholes. Therefore, it is not impossible that there are people who want to take this opportunity to support Prince Rui."

"As for Prince Jin, the blood of Yunhai is flowing on his body. When Yunhai was destroyed and his mother and concubine died of illness, if he was angry because of this, it would make sense for him to want to do something in private to avenge his mother. What's more, he is still with this Yunhai The female assassin has collusion, the suspicion is quite high."

The emperor said these lightly, and the faces of the three brothers Qi Junyan were not very good-looking.

Qi Junyou was expressionless, and he thought to himself, he knew Qi Junmu was narrow-minded, since he was asked to go to Qingzhou, he knew that this person was full of bad things, he knew that the Zhou family was not stable, but he didn't show it at all.

The water in the pot has been warming for them, just waiting for it to boil, and even he and the Zhou family put it in to cook.

No, when he came back from Qingzhou, he was so low-key that he couldn't be low-key any more.The main family of the Zhou family in the capital and the side branches in Qingzhou also had trouble because of the emperor's support.The power of the Zhou family has been greatly reduced, Concubine Xian has a headache because of this, and the emperor can still find his fault.

The most important thing is that Qi Junyou feels that he still can't refute it, because he knows the tricks of Concubine Zhou's Tongxian, and he did it with his acquiescence.After all, if possible, which prince would not want to be emperor.

The same is true for Qi Junyan, he seems calm, occasionally meeting those courtiers who have a good impression of him, and lamenting the injustice of God.

He admitted all of this, but...

"But no matter what kind of small thoughts they have, whether they have plans for the position I sit in, they will not betray the country." Qi Junmu said this, his tone was very calm, but it sounded like thunder in everyone's ears .

Lin Xiao and all the ministers couldn't help looking up at Qi Junmu.

"How can the emperor be so sure?" Arlie didn't expect things to go this way. In his mind, Emperor Daqi should have taken the opportunity to attack his brothers.Now that things have turned out like this, it was completely beyond his expectations, so he couldn't help but ask.

Qi Junmu looked cold, and he said: "Ping Wang was most angry when he was watched all the time during the snowstorm in Qingzhou. Qingzhou has Zhou's family. If King Ping wants to, no matter how strict the surveillance is, he can still send out news, but he He did not reveal his identity and caused the riots in Qingzhou, making the situation in Qingzhou even more difficult. He was uncomfortable, and he just complained a few words."

"Prince Rui is in the western region. After the disappearance of Changsheng in the western region, Prince Rui can take advantage of the chaos to subdue people's hearts, and even spread some unfavorable rumors to increase his leverage. But the first thing Prince Rui does in the western region is to stabilize the situation. The situation on the ground, calm down the shaken morale of the Western Border Army, and guard against your Sidi sneak attack."

"Such people at least put the people in their hearts. If they want the throne, they will only use their own power to reduce the war chaos to the scope of Daqi. How can they collude with foreign enemies to seek skins from tigers?"

"What about Prince Jin." Arlie couldn't help pointing at Qi Junzhuo and said, "He colluded with the female assassin, and the official evidence was conclusive, but he concealed it. Doesn't the emperor suspect it is him?"

"Why should I doubt him?" Qi Junmu said quietly, and Qi Junzhuo, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his eyes.

The emperor continued to say indifferently: "I brought him up to be a man. I can't understand Prince Jin's temperament very well. He has Yunhai's blood on him, so what, everyone feels bad when Yunhai is destroyed, but It's not Daqi's fault."

"As for the matter between him and this female assassin, if he wants to talk, I will listen. If he doesn't want to talk, I believe he has his own reasons. The most important thing is that you have always wanted to provoke the relationship between me and Ah Zhuo , but I forgot that he only gained some power after I ascended the throne. No one knows better than me what kind of person Ah Zhuo is, otherwise he would not be the only one in Daqi prince."

"I know some people's plans. You just think that I will take the opportunity to attack my brother, so you will spread rumors and make all kinds of provocations regardless of whether there is evidence or not. But I have the same heart as Ming Jing. If they really did something, I wouldn't spare their lives without your instigation, and if they didn't do anything, I wouldn't make up crimes and pin them on them."

When the emperor said this, the courtiers of Daqi felt very uncomfortable.

Qi Junyan and Qi Junyou had complicated feelings. They never thought that the emperor would have such considerations in letting them go out of Beijing. If they were impulsive at the time, it might have ended in another way.

The emperor is really scheming.

Qi Junmu just wanted to speak out today, so seeing everyone's surprise, he asked Qi Junzhuo to stand up first, and then continued: "So after excluding them all, I have a thought in my mind, who will be with Xi? Di You colluded. Such a person must have the qualifications to sit on the throne."

Following his words, everyone's eyes fluttered back and forth, and finally stopped on King Ying.

The same is true for Qi Junyan and Qi Junyou, neither of them thought about this, and their faces were a bit ugly, while King Ying was a little flustered.

Qi Junmu looked at King Ying's chubby body with a smile and said: "I have been thinking about one thing these years. Many things that happened in the palace these years were caused by the remnants of King Su."

"It's the remnants of King Su. They hated the former emperor so much, that's why they did this series of things." King Ying hurriedly followed his words.

Qi Junmu shook his head slowly, and he said: "If the remnants of Su Wang existed when the father first came to the throne, I would believe it. But now after so many years, there will be descendants of people who trust and love Su Wang, everyone will After a lifetime, the remnants of King Su continued to do things in the palace. I wondered, the remnants of King Su were killed and killed, how could they keep killing them? Could it be that they are endless descendants? ?”

King Ying moved his mouth, and Qi Junmu looked at him and said softly: "Uncle King Ying, has he thought of his dead brother when he closed his eyes all these years, is he afraid when he sees father, is he always hating father in his heart?" Where is the emperor?"

King Ying's expression was a little dazed, and he thought to himself, how could he not be afraid? In order to reassure Emperor Jing, he didn't dare to have another child these years, because he was afraid that Emperor Jing would think he had other ideas.

He had seen Emperor Jing sitting on the throne stepping on blood, looked at him with no warmth in his eyes and laughed mockingly: "Since you are the only one left, then use my name to make you king. Don't do it in the future." Do something out of the ordinary, otherwise I won't be merciful, and I won't take any brotherhood into consideration."

King Su is his elder brother, and there are many people under King Su. When Emperor Jing was in power, there were always some people who slipped through the net.

Some of them approached the King of England, and the King of England naturally did not dare to take them in, but he still gave them money and sent them away from the capital.

These people always tried to assassinate Emperor Jing, but they were unsuccessful. I don't know when the remnants of King Su rarely appeared in the palace.

Later, Emperor Jing was obsessed with elixir, and the King of Ying once sent someone to pretend that it was the remnants of King Su for some things.Things went smoothly, and he did it a few times, fearing that Emperor Jing would find out and finally stop.

King Ying felt that it was a joke for him to live under Emperor Jing.There are so many people in his backyard, but he doesn't dare to let them have children. He even has to think about whether Emperor Jing will be happy to have a child.

He was afraid, afraid that Emperor Jing would be suspicious, and even more afraid that Emperor Tian Jing's knife would fall on his neck.

After Emperor Jing's death, the mountain above King Ying's head was suddenly removed. He sometimes thought it was a dream, but later he realized that Emperor Jing was really gone.

After Qi Junmu ascended the throne, the King of England would also have some dark thoughts in his heart.

He got used to hiding in the dark, and no one would take him seriously, which made him both happy and a little unhappy.He knew it was wrong to think so, but he couldn't help himself.

The days without Emperor Jing are really comfortable, it would be great if his rights were greater.

The king of England belongs to the royal family, and no one knows better than him the unique suspicion of royal people, especially the emperor.In the middle of the night, he tossed and turned, wondering if Qi Junmu's brothers were gone, would he and Qi Fan have a chance to sit back in that position.

This idea arose after Jingdi's death, or was stimulated by Jingdi's death.

He has been oppressed by Emperor Jing for so long, does he want his son to live like this?Thinking about it, he felt a little bitter.

As for Chang Sheng, yes, he is a prince who is not valued by others, who will notice him.

Occasionally, those ministers would say some private words in front of him. They looked down on themselves at all, and thought it didn't matter if he heard it.After all, in their eyes, he was a stupid prince who was left by Emperor Jing to support the scene.

He had heard about Chang Sheng embezzling military pay when Qi Junmu first came to the throne.

Chang Sheng gave Wen Zhuo money, but those people looked down on Wen Zhuo at all. Chang Sheng is an ambitious person, and he also hopes to be named a Marquis like Shen Yi.He needs money, beauty, and someone to support his dream.

The King of England thought that if they joined forces, things might turn around for a while.

People's desires are so endless. The King of England wants the throne, and Chang Sheng wants titles and fame.From Chang Sheng's point of view, the king of England is stupid. Even if he is supported to the throne, he can still coerce the emperor to make the princes in the future. From the view of the king of England, Chang Sheng can be used. Always win.

King Ying didn't have much power under Emperor Jing's oppression. He had no power in his hands, and the only thing he could use was the name Su Wang's Remnant Evil.He was playing tricks in the palace to make the emperor's harem more chaotic.

But he was also powerless, the emperor didn't like beauty at all, and there was only the queen in the harem, so he couldn't do many things he wanted to do, which made him very angry and helpless.

Fortunately, Qi Fan and Wen Yao have a good relationship, and we can learn a lot about the emperor from Wen Yao.

Colluding with Sidi is something the King of England and Chang Sheng can't do. If there is another way, the King of England is not willing to take this step.

But on second thought, compared with the throne, what is the Western Territory, so what if it was given to Xidi.

In King Ying's impression, he and Chang Sheng can slowly plot this matter. After a few years, when the time is right, the emperor will fall out with his brothers. At that time, they will join forces with Sidili, and Daqi will be theirs.

It's just that people's thinking can never keep up with the changes in the world. Chang Sheng was transferred from the western border and disappeared.

After Chang Sheng died, and was found to have colluded with Xidi, he felt relieved, but he was not involved at all.This made him completely relieved, no matter whether someone secretly helped him or not, he will always pass this level now.

Only today did he realize that it was too early for him to breathe a sigh of relief. The emperor took the opportunity to attack, and he had already sensed his intentions.

Thinking of this possibility, King Ying's legs softened.Obviously Emperor Jing was gone, but when facing Emperor Jing, the fear in his body began to appear again.

He felt extremely ugly and powerless.

Qi Junmu looked at Arlie and said, "Tell me, is my guess reasonable?"

Arlie didn't speak, his face turned a little blue.

The emperor clapped his hands and said: "Come here, send Allie and others back first. The alliance between Xidi and Daqi is not suitable for discussion today."

The guards appeared soon, and those who were interested found that the guards who came in were always by Shen Nian's side.

Such as Wang Jun, such as Hu Ze.

After Arlie and others withdrew, the emperor ordered the King of England to be taken down as well.

He did not immediately convict the King of England, but everyone knew from his expression that the life of the King of England would definitely not be easy in the future.

The banquet is a bit out of control even here.

Qi Junmu clapped his hands, and asked the imperial guards to bring the wine jar, saying that he wanted to drink with everyone.

Lin Xiao looked a little ugly, and he said: "Your Majesty, today the envoys of Sidi are invited to a banquet. Since the conspiracy between the King of England and the envoys of Xidi has been discovered, it is better to interrogate as soon as possible."

From his expression, it can be seen that he did not know what the emperor did beforehand.

The relationship between Lin Xiao and the emperor has always been very close, and the emperor was keeping him on guard if he kept it from him.Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder his face looks good.

"Don't worry, Uncle, I know this well." Qi Junmu smiled.Before civil and military officials, he always called Lin Xiao the left minister, and he was rarely so close.

Lin Xiao forced a smile when he heard this, the guards poured wine, the emperor raised his glass, and said: "I said that I will keep my father's filial piety for three years, I shouldn't drink this wine today, but I am happy today , make an exception once."

Qi Junmu raised his head and drank the wine, and Shen Nian also drank it.

The others did not dare to refute the emperor, so they all drank silently. After drinking, the emperor clapped his hands and smiled and said, "A few days ago, I met a friend outside the palace. Let everyone see."

The ministers couldn't figure it out. They didn't know who caught the emperor's eyes and let all the officials accompany him.

The emperor said: "Speaking of which, this person is also going to participate in Enke. His surname is Lin Mingjiu, which is the same surname as Zuoxiang."
